Where a detail is not shown, the source listing did not state it. We leave it out rather than guess.

Area and hazard data
6 checks clear. Each check is against a government map for this exact point. Where a map is missing or we can't use it, we say so; that never means there's no risk.

Thinking of renting it out?
What the published rules and maps say about letting this home to short-stay guests, line by line, with sources. This is not a verdict or advice. The town, the bank and the licensing office have the final word.
In Japan, home-sharing (minpaku) under the national home-sharing law is capped at 180 nights a year. A ryokan or inn licence is a separate route with its own building and zoning rules.
-
Local home-sharing ordinance
No home-sharing ordinance for Okayama Prefecture appears in the Japan Tourism Agency list of 1 April 2021.
That is not a statement that home-sharing is allowed here: the list may be out of date, and the national rules still apply.
